Objectives and Content
Artificial neural networks are flexible and powerful machine learning models. Modern deep learning has had tremendous success in applying complex neural networks to problems from a wide range of disciplines. This course gives and understanding of the theoretical basis underlying neural networks and deep learning. Furthermore, the course includes implementation of neural components and as well as applying deep learning on real-world data sets using modern deep learning packages.

Upon completion of the course the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student should be able to
- explain the basic principles behind neural networks and deep learning
- compare modeling aspects of various neural network architectures
Skills
The student should be able to
- implement simple neural network algorithms
- apply and evaluate deep learning on real data sets
General competence
The student should be able to
- provide successful examples how deep learning can be used in different contexts in the society
- read and critically assess papers on artificial neural networks and their applications
